The ever increasing world demand for crude oil based lighter distillate fuels inevitably impacts on the characteristics of the residues left for blending into marine bunkers.

This video contains recommendations for handling and treating heavy fuel oils on board ship, from the preparation of storage tanks for new bunkers to the final temperature and viscosity control of the clean fuel, right up to the fuel valve of the marine engine. These recommendations were designed to ensure that the ship's operation will continue to be safe and cost effective.
